Syntheso Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 PLEASE ATTEND THIS EVENT/INVITE PEOPLE/SPREAD THE WORD: https://www.facebook.com/events/361353200712476/ The intention of this event is to promote awareness and raise funds for the visual snow campaign through a moving spectacle: walking into an immersive musical experience with the image of VS patients attempting to heal. It does not matter if the healing proposal works or not - it is using the spectacle to create awareness (and raise funds) that is important. Please please do your best to come to this and participate - it could be very important and influential if we get enough momentum; if we get lots of VS coming to sit, it will be very moving for the audience; this promotes activism and awareness. The project is supported by an established art collective which already has a regular audience of activists, artists and charitable people. It is important we extend it beyond the regular audience though, so this where your attendance/help in promotion is warranted: this is patient advocacy. It is also a forum for VS patients to meet and talk together. Speaking with fellow sufferers, as you know if you use this forum, is very psychologically helpful - even more so in real life. Also looking for other contributions - be it art, documentation etc. Throw some ideas at me and get in touch. At very least, please share the event!

Jay1 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Good luck to the guy.... I think the anxiety would hinder me more than help me... But I can see this sort of treatment being worth a shot when things like oculus rift and other virtual reality headsets become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey jay, I am the guy The point of the happening is less if staring at the television static actually works, but the idea is to create a moving spectacle that draws people into our world and thus promotes awareness. Please spread the word if you can - it would be much appreciated. Best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syntheso Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 So how did it go? I note you did not post a day 3 update. Similar results to the first two days. Am writing an article to hopefully be published on the experience. Thanks for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
